Venomous Atmospheric Black Metal from Austin.
Grand Rapids, Michigan's Eissturm blends black metal with folk and ambient textures, crafting music that evokes the wooded isolation of the Great Lakes region since 2013. Pagan themes and wintry atmosphere run through their output in equal measure.
Dayton, Ohio's Ejaculating Rektal Squid Pussy commits fully to the brutality of goregrind and brutal death metal, a project formed in 2022 with no pretense toward subtlety. Cavernous gurgles, blast beats, and maximum grotesquerie.
Burlington, Vermont's Ejaculatör has been delivering a nasty amalgam of black, thrash, and death metal since 2020, the umlaut signaling a dedication to filthy excess across all three traditions. Raw, fast, and gloriously crude.
Denver's Ekelhaft — German for "disgusting" — has been practicing a no-frills, antagonistic strain of black metal since 2016. The name sets expectations that the music meets without apology.
Cedar Rapids, Iowa's Ekos has spent over a decade crafting psychedelic doom and stoner metal that feels like a long, hazy drive through the American interior. Slow-burning riffs and an acid-tinged heaviness have been their stock in trade since 2011.
Phoenix's Ekser burst onto the scene in 2024 with a technically demanding take on death metal that immediately signals high aspirations for a young act. Precision, aggression, and a desert-city edge characterize their early output.
An American symphonic black metal project that materialized in 2025, Ekvitkar arrives with grand orchestral ambitions wrapped around black metal's traditional ferocity. One of the newest entries in the symphonic extreme metal underground.
Bowling Green, Kentucky's El Astronauta has been launching stoner metal salvos since 2020, wrapping heavy desert-rock riffage in cosmic ambition. The name hints at the spacey, weightless feel the band chases alongside its considerable heft.
